Well this was the time, it was the finale for Goose Fair, which in itself was actually quite peaceful but it was a busy time. So it was time to get work done then it was time to explore the fair. Which then time to head off for a client afterwards.
WORK
So it was the cycle in for the morning which was going to be the busy day due to a few clients and catching up with some of the overdue bits of jobs to go through. But then it was also making sure to close at 3:30pm due to a customer's 90th party to go back to which I had to try to make sure not to forget. But then one after another after another EVEN AFTER more posters in the shop to say closed at 3:30pm but that another customer came in which was a regular so that caused a delay. Then 2 more kids came in which i said to pop back mid next week which they did not in the hindsight. But then by 4 ish I was gone and it was time to rush off to the Bedford.
The 90th
So I was heading off, the shop was locked and the sky was clear and optimism was high. But I got into the reception to then be able to manage to find the right room. I had to aske the bartender to find it, It was the portrait room. I got in and greeted all the customers family and then got told to help out with getting some food on the plate. Some lovely food from Duck and Ham wraps, sausages rolls, pasties and of course there was a higher chocolate cake to go with this as well. But then chatting and time passed with some messages to then say my goodbyes after being told to pack a bag of the food up to take home. Well for me home was going to the fair then to another client, by 5pm I was on my way to the Fair.
The Fair.
Well it was warm heat and the fair has so much of the same, some new stalls moved in and Freak out has left, But it was nice to see the fair in the sun for a change. IT felt even warmer than August to be honest. But nothing interesting happened, I was tempted to get some Donuts but I had a full rucksack already on that part for it.

Then it was to finally get to the bike and sort the next part of the journey.
The cycle to Horrabridge
I got to the bike rack then made my way to Horrabridge, pasin the back road and getting up by warrens cross, the sun was strong and it was then the passing over the moors. It felt cam but the fair was still a bit of hearing in the clear sky. But then i got onto the road and down the lane to my amazement. But then i got into the village and then time to visit the client.
I then got that finished and it was a cycle home in the dark, so that was a calm way to go for it,
So that was that and then it was the end of this week.
So this one is from a lucky cancellation at work which let me get some time to go to Exeter yet again, this time which tested me on the time to get. This one was more some errands that were overdue which for me was going to be overdue and needed to do while I had the time, the bank might be closed but the post office would be the way to go on this one.
The Morning and first 2 clients
The day was going to be muggy or humid which meant rain, that is a tough old bugger and well with only one visit in Lydford after regular,s it was time to have another afternoon, this time would be to pay money into the bank but it was also going to be maybe a date but that would be unlikely for the major part.
I eventually got up after the fap and flirting and getting food shop in the usual with a girl from Yeovil of all things which maybe things might go and grow which looking back has been no reply since the morning, but it will be a time will tell sort of premise, So we make our way after checking emails. I left home at 9:55 which then was a semi-calm distance to get to the regulars. They were doing ok and took some time and hear inner truths but eventually.
Eventually, I got to the part of the bits where it was time to leave but not planning things, I should have checked voicemail since it tends to get that thing where it doesn’t work as it should, but in the end, I made my way to Lydford for the next client which was a very short one. They left a voicemail to cancel but did not get that chance to be in touch since the signal was falling apart a bit. It took about 35 minutes to get to Lydford then I managed to have a chat with them and sort some plans out. That ended at about 1:55 pm.
The Cycle to Oke
This was just calm and easy since it was a direct route and no paths to really side wind and cross. I started the journey from there and then it was a semi gentle breeze to get to where I wanted to go. Since the time for the train was 2:25 pm there was no point rushing, So I slowly took my time and it was a gentle cycle, the tyres were feeling nice and forced to get there, So I started.

As I passed I was able to see some of the views, the sky was still a bit cloudy and felt like it could rain, but as the moors are higher up the clouds tend to connect and fill up . But it was still gentle. Especially as it was passing meldon the weather was changing to the clouds above, which when it gets past meldon, it changes. It was hardly anyone on the path at all which felt fine, but it was also the clouds looking stormy. So my worry the rain would strike was a nightmare. But it did not when I parked up at about 14:46 or so, right outside the station.

It was nice to have no issues with stopping on this part of the trail, like just cruise along without having to use the battery and eventually its nearing 14:50 and i got to park up.
The near end of the Granite way path
The OKE post office break.
This was then a slight gap since Starling was more aggressive with magisk, it was no app access on the phone for me. So I had no card I could use to deposit cash, but I ran to the post office to put in £20 anyway. Which then was the case of finding my way to do this.
Just then I explored the area and one of my customers was renovating a café and popped in to see how that was getting on, I didn’t see them but I then shortly ran my way back up since it was 3:05 and the train got in about 3:15 by that point. I ran up and saw the humid clouds which made it not look good. But I then ran up and just as I got there, the train arrived which is like a 10-minute gap between arriving and leaving, which is much more generous than the main trains or the iets.
The Journey
I ended up unlocking the bike and then went on the train, since if I used the ticket machine it would bolt on my end with full price and not be able to apply the railcard discount. So I sat down after tying the bike up and used the GWR App. But the GWR App used PayPal to use Starling, so crisis averted for the £9.20 single home. There was a girl in the seat in front of me not the table one but the one behind. So I didn’t film too much of the way to Exeter, but the clouds were starting to clear up for a little bit.
Then it was soon passing Crediton I had to try to call one customer, that was a voicemail left for this. But it was soon after typing up that it was time to get off at exeter St Davids since it is now not that far distance between central and St Davids really, so easier for me if on my own and less ticket hassle.
Nearing St Davids
The Exeter explore
Leaving to pay in
So this is the main part to start with since my goal was to get work cash paid into the bank. Since with Santander, it costs £5 extra a month to speak to someone in the branch. But first was the cycling to the centre, which was a short distance across from 2 roundabouts and up a hill then turn left then right and I parked right outside central.
A View ata part of St Davids
The Exeter Streets on going up the hill
The walk to try to pay in the hole in the wall,
I casually walked my way and it was about a few minutes to the centre as it shows before. But it ended up finding Santander, which was going to be a bit of a tough one to count the note. After it timed out twice, I gave up and walked my way to the main post office in the Guildhall shopping centre, noticing a back alley which led to the mini ruin in the Guildhall, then to my right was the post office inside a gigantic WH smith, so I walked in.
Then I gasped as I managed to walk in and it was a huge one, but finding my way to the post office part was easy with signs, AS I walked by I saw some Slush Puppies bottles for like £1 that were on my list to grab them on the way back home. But then I got to the post office and it was queued up. So I walked out and then Google Maps said the top of Sidwell Street had one. So I ran my way there.
The run was quick-ish just past the places I walked by a week ago really. When I got there it was part of a Morrisons, Which then I got in the lady was nice and we paid most since it was taking its time from how confusing it can end up.
But alas then that came TO an end which ended up 16:45 or so which was only about half an hour or less before the train back. But I walked out of there with an assignment of relief on this goal sorted.
The lights and the building by the top of the city centre
The mini check and drink to get back to the bike
So it was coming to finding my way and thirst was on my mind, the idea was the slush puppies bottles and well it was £1 which I had some left anyway on the card. Cash was wiped out, But I walked my way back to the guildhall to check CEX which had a surface dock which was a proper version of something I’d already got on my surface go was the usb C adapter, which I had to cut a bit of silicon out of the case for it to go on. So I skipped that and then made my way to get the Slush Puppies bottles. Then it was quicker but some lovely chap was in the queue, and then this student served me, there were a lot of the uni types about since it was the end of the day. But for £2 total was not bad at all.
The slush puppie bottles for £1 each
Then I walked my way to the bike to pick it up and then it was time to cycle back, there was not much of a point to going and getting any too good-to-go bits since it was like 1 minute from leaving WHSmith to get ther bike to rush to St David's, so I just casually cycled my way back to St David's. It took about 2 to 3 minutes to get there easily.
The entrance to St Davids
The Train home
So, I cycled down and then walked my way to the entrance I managed to get onto the lift and then swap over to platform 4, the sun was coming out which was nice. But I was about to rest and the train arrived in, so it was time to find the carriage, the dot matrix display was off a bit to be fair but one of the guards and staff pointed then another chap with a bike pointed to the carriage. IO got on but 2 suitcases were in the way. So it was a hassle to get them to move and then stack the bikes up. By the time I did it, the train was moving on the way back to Plymouth already.
The view from the lift on platform 1
How i managed to get the bike in was a mystery
Then it was to find the seat, this time I wanted to face the left since with of the coast, but it was a shame since the only free seat was with the wall facing so I did not get any good view of the coast. But then it was good to do more catch up which involved more calls and a couple of emails as well.
The view near the estuary
I enjoyed the sip of the Blue Raspberry and showed the ticket when needed, so that made life that bit easier while cruising along the coast and getting towards Newton Abbot. But then as it passed, the sun was coming out and finally felt like summer, I felt sweaty and more thirsty I was near Ivybridge the clouds were coming back for a short while. But then it was time to pack up.
Then this was the hard part, it was coming to that point where the bike door was locked so could not easily be moved, which first getting the luggage out, another bystander tried to help and talked about getting the guard at the station. But then it was having to sit and turn to get it in, the back was out but the front was struggling for sure. In the end, some guy twisted the handlebars upside down and it just about squeezed out, like 2 minutes before the train was going to depart. I got off the train and then walked my way to the platform lift.
The bike trapped in the locker with the luggage
I got on the lift and it went out, the lady that helped was on her way to St Germans and she agreed how the bike storage is odd on these trains, but then she got off the lift and it was then splitting ways, she was platform 6, I was platform 8. The app said the lift was not working, I went on the lift and it was working fine.
Then as I got to park the bike, it was time for a toilet, but before that was a selfie and then another call to the mobile from a customer. Then it was finally time to go toilet since the engine started running, the bike was mounted on the end of the train, which then after that confusion, I got it strapped in and settled down, some bits with the surface to start then, it was clear sky for the most of the city as I made my way back home.
The Biked strapped up
It feels faster in most instances and also the tickets were asked for after Keyham or was it near the ferres, either way, it was a bit later since the way it was from Keyham had to be delayed. Eventually, it was nearing the end of the day by 19:28. As it got to St. Bueadoux an idea across to get the train to order food and then get the train home, like takeout delivery since most of the chains like KFC and Dominoes were there (memories of Emma from years ago).
The selfie looking back on the tamar
The view over the calstock viaduct
After that I said my time was soon up, I got back to Guni then got off the train and made my way up the hill with about 30 miles left on the batter for this week, it was 75 miles when I left home this morning too, the calibration of the battery does not always make sense whatsoever. But then it was time to enjoy a nice mix of meatballs in this sauce with a bit of burger sauce and potato wedges to go on top.

But enjoy this and soon there will be the catch up vlog and a carnival vlog to complete too.
So this was a Sunday off with one errand to do and finally a goal of say I’ve wanted to get for ages. Which was train and cycle to Padstow. Especially as it has been nearly 1 month since the bike was in for repair due to A lot of issues leading to the change and cassette and things the warranty should have done but those small terms and conditions between the lines, meant it was not covered. How can a firm ask to order elsewhere for bits when I just wait one week longer to get out ordered directly with them? It makes things ugh for sure. But that was the morning to plan out for this day out. Enjoy the vlog below:
The train to collect the Bike
Right, we start with waking up from a nice fap from someone I’ve flirted with on the f site. Then it was time to get things sorted like a shave, copy the footage off from the phone and also make sure I've got locks with me for the journey too. The copying files off was not too bad and Surface Go 2 was fully charged as well. But to fit this to work it was going to be something I was not prepared for.
By 9:55 I was on the run to get the train. I did book the tickets via the GWR Site. £8.55 return is not bad. The plan was to make sure that I was going to make the train home since the last train was 17:44 back to Gunni, and the last train closest was 16:58 from Bodmin. The time to get to Padstow is about 1 hour 38 minutes, which with the electric side to use the battery, but I need to push myself on the pedal and also enjoy a route I've not done part of ever. Maps will be my savour on this, or so I thought.
The station and the train on the overcast morning
I got on the train and felt weird without the bike on it, which most trips have been with the bike near me for most of them. bit io sat down and got the surface go 2 loaded up and from there was the time to take it easy and prepare for this. The journey was smooth and a peek of sun at some of the times.

Then it was dead on arrival at Plym at 10:56. I got off and then made my way to pick up the bike since it's been over a month due to parts that were needed. On the way to get some bits of snacks from Poundland which itself is fine but actually, I had a look and the phone tripod dead wax £2 so I added a blt sandwich for £1 and £0.75 for each strawberry flavour of aloe vera juice and then that totalled to £4.50.
Then I got to the bike shop and collected the bike, which was £80 since some parts were under warranty and I made a £65 payment 1 month ago as well. I spoke to the area and there was some warranty discount involved. I locked the bike up and had a quick browse in Cex for some bits then it was time to cycle back to the station at 11:25 for the train was to arrive about 11:45.
The road to the station
The train to the woods
I got to the station then it turned out the train was delayed, not very much but it gave me some time to prepare, like to make sure the locks were ok and also to make sure that the bits were right. This is not the first time it is been kn a long-distance train, that was actually when I got the bike back im August 2023.
The station waiting
I locked it up and went to the other platform to go for a pee since I was getting desperate. I got that done then it was a calm wait to find out which place to go and park before the train arrived the bike was about coach D or Zone 4. The chance of waiting meant I could go to the toilet and that locked the time so I then went to the 7,8 platform to then be able to get things ready fofis. Once the toilet was done, a quick stroll in the subway and then I was able to have a shot just for the train to arrive. The train arrived and I got on, the difference here was a very tricky struggle to have to leave the bike vertically to fit in if I had the chance to film the draggle, I really would have, but luckily the flexible pole did helped and so did the bungee.
Then I managed to find a spare seat with a table and relaxed since the journey was only about 35 minutes or so long. I rested and started to type his up using the surface and then had the first of the strawberry aloe vera juice drinks. They are quite refreshing, The blt sandwiches were also going to be for later on when I got back to the train. It was just so silent and comfy to breeze towards. No tickets we looked at, but then again getting on with Plymouth had nc the gate it is easier for them to find out.

Passing in the woods
Some dudes were taking up two tablets and enjoying some cans of Carlsberg, but it was then getting to Liskeard when even another train stopped at the same time. Time passed and it was not too long until the train passed the woods by 12:26 I was then at the station, Bodmin Parkway, and as I was getting the bike unloaded, this upper style mm and daughter were smiling and speaking about something to me, before then I started vlogging off the train and was thinking I was speaking to them when I made a phone call style symbol to them. As I was getting to the entrance/exit, the steam train was about to go, so I walked back and filmed that, as I did, I noticed a girl whom I’d swiped right on Tinder like 3 times but not the same way back, but she was with a chap so maybe she not dating, since last I saw her was in Iceland back in late august 2023. But the steam train to central bodmin was about to toot off on the other side.
The train about to leave
Then it was time to get the bike ready.
The Trails of Middle Cornwall.
So this was when it was time to plan out, with no phone holder and no bike lights, it was going to be a risk but since it's mostly flat and not on main roads, there was some safety here at least. Now it was also the time I could get the bike locks to go tighter since I was not expecting a smooth ride to Padstow here. But by 12:45, I was off and cycling down the path that had been smoothed out, which was going to be the only smoothest surface of the entire journey until the streets of Bodmin and Wadebridge. The gate had a VERY short chain so could only just get the bike through it before the carpark and the crossing of the road to a short gate on the other side which if not careful the bike would tip into a fast flowing least which was just before what was to be a VERY BUMPY part of the journey both there and back again.
The bike and the gate with the short chain
This part was chaotic, plus it did not help with people In the way it was going to be worse as the camel trail section was to approach. But once I got past the Lanhydrock trails it was a confusing sense of where to turn. I did and then the confusion was a turn around to the left and then it was going to be on the left road, which then it was a cycle on the main road to get the part to pass over the bridge to get to Bodmin. Once I crossed the bridge, it was a small little trail, that led to a car park near the A30. That was the start of the easy part which in itself was just the easy way, mostly the road, But then I just had multiple texts to deal with, so that confused the direction to go. So it led to junctions and then I managed to get on a main road and follow it through.
The town in the roundabout
But then it was time to cycle in the town which has its moments and I was then slowing down a little bit since it was finding the right street past the right park as well. But eventually passing an abandoned shop from my childhood closed down and a big stone whacking a pedal, the time was to cycle the camel trail.

So it was now near the carpark, passing Bodmin Jail and the flat or mostly flat path to Padstow. The first part was HECTIC and even was close to having to walk it, especially as no bells or lights about, it was like a busy road. But we passed and it was going on some of the landmarks. From the halts labelled up to even the chance to see some of the tea rooms on the right. It's been years since I’ve been on this trail.

But it was on the way and by 1:30 pm, it was time to get past the path and it was getting near the town of Wadebridge
The nearing of the town
Nearing another halt
Eventually closing in by 1:45 pm, to the edge of the town. Which in itself, was quicker to pass than I originally guessed, with one street to then pass the old station eventually it was turning right by Co-op and then nearly knocking into a chap before attempting to cross the road before it was mostly a solid straight then right before the main trail to Padstow. Before this, it was seeing some places like the American Restaurant closed as well as a shop nearby now becoming a food bank as well.
Passing the old railway station
The old American restaurant abandoned
Then led to the main stretch and it got quite busy on some of the parts since it was now the passing of the Town and via the new skatepark and onto the path with people on both sides from cycle hire and those not alike, even some wheelchair users doing birdwatching as well. But it was eventually getting to the halfway point which was where the food of the Atlantic Coast Express used to be, it was still there and people still sitting down, but it was closed that day.

But with some dogs being pulled ish on leads with bikes and more swerving, it was about the 2:14 mark and I finally arrived at the similar spot that me and my sister parked up at from the vlog 4 years ago now. Which was then time to lock up and explore the town in like 1 hour before having to leave to get the train home in time.

So we decided to walk and it was a walk to the toilets which was from my favourite side of the town, the golf. But I casually strolled, the streets were far from packed compared to the summer when it was unable to move, but then it was able to go. I got in and peed, got out and made my way to the golf, it was closed. So a sigh of relief since it was already 2:30 pm and like 45 minutes to go before leaving.
The port with the popular boats with the tide ends
I took my time to walk to the park and then reflected on the view and was close to finishing the end of the GTS 4 mini-review. Instead, I got the powerbank ready and then time to walk the back path into the town to make my way down the street to look at some of the shops in the 40 minutes I had left.
The top of the hill and views of rock
Exploring a part of the park i've not ventured much of
There were some lovely streets and also it was nice to see some of the crafts and gifts in the shops, like a cornish pasty thief and also various candles and diffusers, it was also time to go into this all which allowed me to look at some crafts, some of which had some cows of a painting that’s been in stock for 35 years and £65 +. But going upstairs the Stephen brown resemblances are quite shocking, which my mum would have loved but this might be. But the smaller prints were about £40 each. But then it was to start to head my way back.
The streets of Padstow
Then it was passed a soap shop with some nice treats, but this was a tricky one of what smells are liked, so I skipped, but before that was a mixed bag of fudge for about £5.50. Then I was walking my way back to the port side, passing the pubs on the corner and it was nearing another mini hall where yet another craft fair was on, some things such as chilli sauces and also dog treats, but mum loved the rocky road, so for £2.50, I got some of that.

There was also a nice bit of rocky road purchased from the craft market before leaving. Its nice to pop by here
The passing of the craft market in the hall
Then it was the final walk to get to the bike, but passing Stein’s deli and finding no Garlic Aioli dip, burning my mouth on some hot sauce has to be another fun part. After that, it was 3:10 and it was a paced walk to get the bike unlocked and ready to cycle back to not miss the train.
The Cloudy way back
This was then the rush to cycle back which was going to be a simple way, but I left and then started to pedal and kick in the motor, but what happened was when I realised by the time before I went to the bridge, I forgot to the kick in the Watch so it was not recording from the time I left the bike. But I started to make my way back on the camel trail, passing some and having to slow down at others.
The path getting clearer
As I cycled it was getting to bits and I also slowly but surely saw people I cycled past on the way in, doing the same as I was doing a fair bit of mileage and it was going to take some time, since of the 35 miles away, and the time was ticking on. Eventually, I got to Wadebridge in about 20 minutes, it was starting to spit with rain at this point.
The Bridge in the view
The town was empty on the way back
The sign of the Camel Trail as leaving wadebridge
But then it was going to be the quieter bit once passing Wadebridge since the path was not as busy and I cained the battery and pedalled, to the point the mileage went up on the battery range, which this part of the path I was mostly still dry in, the mud on the path was not too bad. Even I got to Boscarne Junction before 4 and then headed to the final part of the path by about 4:05.

Reaching Boscarne Junction
The final part of the trail before bodmin
Then it was Bodmin, and my life of confusion with not seeing Google Maps on my phone all the time from the phone mount was taking its effect, like I ended up going on some odd router by turning left at the roundabout on the cobbled/paved surface instead of turning right/straight on like I should have and let the road follow, which lead me to a school field than in some estate but it worked out to go to the 3 signs for NCN 3, which then It was passing an industrial estate, which then turned around to the same road, but instead of going the path route, I turned left and stayed on the road which got to the bridge and then it was going to follow it to the A30 again.
The path heading towards the A30
Then it got to the last part of the following that, I crossed the road and this time stayed on the road, passing the car park for Lanhydrock, which then led to the part of the car park, following the road led straight to the trails and it was then to carry on the very bumpy track which even my hands were getting numb from the vibration.

The bumpy trails to get to the path
Eventually, this is where the glass died on the battery, even though I could have charged it with the power bank, I forgot to get that loaded up properly in terms of bike mounted. Then it was a busy path of smooth asphalt to get to the station.
The Rush for the Train then Journey Home
So I got there and the TRAIN arrived, this was 16:36 so my panic to get the bike across the footbridge was the worst nightmare the bike had faced since buying it. Like it is one Heavy bike. But the train left as I was halfway on the bridge, I was PISSHED. Eventually, it was going to be the point to have to wait, but it was that wait which was stressful, since during this shortly like 10 minutes later, there was a nightmare of the trains being delayed which was making it even so much closer to the given of the time of shit, I’ll miss the train back to Guni.

Eventually, the station chap asked which train I was getting and said to Plymouth, he shrugged or something sly, and then it was time to wait, but by just after 5 pm, the train was here and the struggle to get the bike lifted to fit it in the storage, But I got it in the end. Time to find a table and sit down while I had my sandwich and tried to type this up. Plus partway through I was texting Lou which i'll get om to at some pint with a catching up blogpost, a nice growing girl so to speak.

A selfie with the sandwich
But since the train going to be later from plym than the one to Gunnislake, I had a plan, get off at Saltash and cycle across the bridge to get back home. That was going to work, but there was only one problem, Saltash has less room for carriages, So I had to do a wheelie across the carriage to get to the other end which then would let me get off the train. As I passed Forder Valley, it was time to prepare this earlier so I did not rush off the train and miss the connection. I just about did and nearly knocked the front wheel into some other passengers going as slowly as I could to now just but also making sure I was not slow enough to miss the platform off the train. I got off after some twists and turns on that end of the carriage and then was off. It was only 1 minute later the train was going to head off to the City, but I was then ready to prepare.
The Cycle to interchange and a final way home
Then it was time to get cycling and find my way to the Tamar Bridge, I’ll admit that it was only a short cycle distance to get there, will kid you not, I was about 2 minutes away from the Bridge before I was crossing the border to then turn right and pretty much follow the road to St Budeaux.
Cycling over the bridge
The higher the barrier
I then only had a bit of an issue crossing the road before turning right and up a bit of a short steep hill then there was Victoria Road station, I cycled down it and got off before walking to the gate, I parked there and relaxed for at least 10 minutes.

Then it was time to finally finish the review for the Amazfit GTS 4 Mini at this point, which in itself is not too bad but it's more of a good all-rounder. But shortly after that, I was on the train, hooked up and got the relaxing journey home. The ticket was scanned and for £8.70 return was not too shabby. But the time to relax was nice. But it was then 6:30 and time to get out of the bike to cycle up the hill home.
